Grilled Tuna Steaks over Arugula Salad

Grilled Tuna Steaks over Arugula Salad by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from one in Cook's Illustrated and served it during a trip to San Luis Obispo with friends. The vinaigrette was fantastic and the technique for marinating the fennel bulb slices in the vinaigrette to soften it is definitely a keeper. You could try this with just about any fish with good results I think. I…

Breton Sweet Crêpes

Breton Sweet Crêpes by Sherwin Faden

These crepes are authentic and remind me so much of time in La Bretagne (Brittany). They are so good that I never want to put anything on them. They are best prepared on a crepe griddle (Une Bilique). They will last a day or two and so I often prepare a double batch.

Almost unbeatable. The salad was a also very tasty, though we had to add a lot of extra greens to prevent the dressing from being too heavy. I've…

Breton Savoury Buckwheat Galettes by Sherwin Faden

If you want to have lunch or dinner, these are the crêpes you will want to make. You will think you are are in a crêperie en Bretagne (Brittany). You can make the crepes and then heat them again to make your meal or better make the meal right then and there. The most authentic being to use Gruyère cheese, an egg, and ham. To do this…
